Hello,
I am having a problem using CVS (from Cygwin 1.3.6) on a Windows 2000 machine. The main repository is on our campus AFS servers, and I have the OpenAFS client 1.2.2b from http://www.openafs.org/ installed on the Windows machine to access AFS. Since it is on Cygwin, I have CVSROOT=/cygdrive/x/cvs where X: (under Windows) mounts the parent directory of the CVS repository. I am able to check out the module that I need. CVS update also works, and pulls in changes made by others. But if I make a change and try 'cvs commit', I get the message - /cygdrive/x/cvs/src/makefile,v <-- makefile new revision: 1.7; previous revision: 1.6 cvs [commit aborted]: error writing to lock file /cygdrive/x/cvs/src/,makefile, and the commit fails. I was previously using CVS over ssh, with CVSROOT=:ext: etc, and it was working fine. Even now, if I check out a copy with CVSROOT set with :ext, it works, and commit works, and everything is OK, but of course, it is inconvenient because I need to keep entering my password for ssh (we have a strange mixture of ssh and AFS here that makes it a little difficult to do passwordless logins with SSH). I need to stick with the Cygwin version of CVS because of other considerations in the lab. Any ideas on what might be the problem? I tried the command 'touch /cygdrive/x/cvs/src/,makefile,' from a Windows bash shell, and this works, so it is not a problem with write permissions.
